Sean Doyle, the new head of British Airways, criticized the government's measures after just a few days in office. A quarantine obligation is not a long-term solution.

Instead, like many colleagues in the industry, the new Ceo is calling for faster and more reliable Covid-19 tests to be introduced before departure. This is the best way to calm people down and rekindle their wanderlust, like the British Daily Mail reported. In any case, the risk of infection on board is still low. "I will do everything in my power to get British Airways out of this crisis," assured Doyle.
